Do you use math and/or computers in the financial world? Do you want to? Do you live around NYC? If so this is your group.
Meet with others in your local area that are in or interested in Financial Engineering and Quantitative Finance (Quant Devs, Quant Analysts, Quant traders and others interested)
Discuss the field and develop professional network while making new friends. Meet locally and online.
Use this forum to discuss the field in general, careers, schools and technical/theoretical problems.
Please see the Message Boards link on the left for discussion about these topics and discussions on face-to-face meetups.
The best place to go for info and online discussion is still the Wilmott Forums (Hi to folks who are joining from here!). The purpose of this group is to create a local NY/NJ community of Quant-heads to meet in person.
